Interventions Treatment as usual Participants allocated to both groups received standard treatment at the outpatient care sites, which consisted of a variety of specific interventions, such as ambulatory psychotherapies (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, pharmacotherapy), and/or forensic FACT (van Veldhuizen, 2007).
